• Steam download speed is unusually slow.
    6 replies, posted
Normally I can download stuff on steam at about 1.1-2MB/s. Today however it sat at those speeds for maybe an hour, and since then it's been between 0-40KB/s. I thought maybe that something was getting in the way of my wireless signal, so I switched it over to cable, but that didn't change anything. I've also tried restarting steam and the computer a few times but that didn't help either. My steam download settings are as normal, "DSL/Cable 2M" and "Australia - NSW (Telstra)" Anyone know what might be wrong?

Mine is really slow as well. Usually i get about 500 kb/s now im down to about 2. [editline]23rd November 2010[/editline] I have mine on Australia-NSW (Telstra) as well.
I haven't noticed anything abnormally slow about my connection other than the obvious steam issues. [URL=http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/1041812821.png[/IMG][/URL] Looks about normal.
This happened to me for a short period of time. I changed to another server in Victoria and I got awesome speeds again. [editline]23rd November 2010[/editline] But yeah. Had 1.3mb/s dropped to 10kb/s

Hmm, this is indeed a strange problem. I'll just wait until tomorrow and see if it keeps doing it. Thanks for the suggestions though.
